Colin Cowherd predicts Broncos will reach the Super Bowl

What a difference one week can make.

A week after wondering if Sean Payton might replace Bo Nix with a new quarterback in 2026, Fox Sports analyst Colin Cowherd now views Nix and the Denver Broncos as Super Bowl contenders.

Last week, Cowherd predicted the playoffs based on seeding if the season ended today. As the AFC's current No. 1 seed with a 9-2 record, Denver had a first-round bye in the exercise.

In such a scenario, Cowherd predicted the Buffalo Bills (No. 5) beating the Pittsburgh Steelers (No. 4) before falling to the Broncos in the divisional round. He then predicted Denver defeating the New England Patriots (No. 2) in the conference championship game.

Cowherd's predictions had the Broncos making it all the way to the Super Bowl before falling to the Los Angeles Rams. He called it a "pretty easy pick." You can watch his full playoff predictions below.
